Mulder Christmas

Mid December we had a Christmas party with the Mulder clan. My grandmother tells me that the newest member (my cousin's daughter) makes the 90th member of the Mulder family. I believe the counting starts with my Grandma and Grandpa and includes their kids and spouses, grandkids and spouses, and now great-grandkids. Needless to say, even though not everyone was going to be in attendance, the group is getting too large to meet in someone's home. So my grandma rented out a gathering room at her church.

We had a fabulous time catching up with relatives and trying to keep everyone's name straight. We haven't been able to go the last many years, so it was a bit shocking to see some of my cousins babies turning into wonderful young adults already. There was plenty of food to go around (which I think is the key to a successful Mulder gathering) and we ended the afternoon with a gift exchange. Gifts are to be about $10 in value and can be wonderful or extra funny. The favs this year were itunes gift cards (bonus if it had chocolate with it) and I think the funniest was a live goldfish complete with bowl and water.

The disciples were astounded. “Then who in the world can be saved?” they asked. Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible.” Matthew 19:26
